Location

4 Kinburn Place is in a terrace of houses opposite Kinburn Park just outside the centre of St Andrews. The house is less than 300 metres from the roundabout at the end of Market Street and also within 0.75 km of the 18th fairway of the world-famous Old Course, with the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at its head and the West Sands Beach stretching beyond.

A gate and passage at the bottom of the garden leads into Argyle Street; on the other side of Argyle Street lies Cockshaugh Park which links to the Lade Braes footpath which runs alongside the Kinness Burn from the centre of town all the way out into the countryside where it is known as the Pilgrim's Way.

St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the Home of Golf. There are now seven golf courses under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust, including the world-famous Old Course which next plays host to the Open Championship in 2027. There are many other golf courses nearby, including The Duke's Course, two courses at Fairmont St Andrews, Kingsbarns and Dumbarnie.

St Andrews is well known for its university which is one of the oldest in Britain, founded in 1413. The historic town has an excellent range of independent stores, hotels, restaurants and cultural facilities which include a cinema and the Byre Theatre.   

Leuchars railway station is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a link to Edinburgh and a sleeper service to London. Dundee Airport offers flights to London Heathrow, and Edinburgh Airport is only 50 miles away.

Description

4 Kinburn Place is at the end of a symmetrical terrace of four houses dating from c.1860 with front facing gables along the roof line. The house is deceptively large, extending to nearly 3,000 sq. ft. in total, and displaying the high ceilings and bay windows typical of the period.

The present owners have modernised the house while retaining many of the period property's original features. A large kitchen / dining room has been created on the ground floor with French windows opening into a south facing walled garden. This is complemented by a generous first-floor drawing room and downstairs sitting room. The kitchen units and bathroom fittings have been renewed; all windows have been replaced with double glazed units; and the house has been re-wired and hard wired for internet. The central heating system has been refurbished with underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathrooms, thermostats in each room and a new boiler in 2024.
